You can tell that this game was influenced by all the metroidvania games of the past. Graphics are looking good, and I enjoyed the gameplay. If you added a way to remap the controls that would be helpful.

I wish you would add custom keyboard controls though
I completed the game with a trick, I'm not sure if it's an intentional feature.
I had fun playing this
I noticed you made it with game maker studio...
Anyway, I like the Metroid style graphics and play.
It is high quality.
